Irish American Heritage

March is Irish-American Heritage Month, and while many will think first of St. Patrick’s Day and green beer, there is a great deal more to Irish culture than that! Ireland has a rich literary history, and is especially known for folk tales and fairy tales. Heroes like Finn McCool, tragic tales like the Children of Lir, and magical places like Tir Na Nog are all found in fable and legend. You can explore Irish tales at Project Gutenberg or at your local library or bookstore! Find other great resources from the Library of Congress!
